I just reviewed it. R80 is below.

The compressor (permitted per R79) may be located off-board, however the compressor must still be controlled and powered by the ROBOT.

And the blue box:
Quote:
The compressor may be mounted on the ROBOT, or it may be left off the ROBOT and used to pre-charge compressed air in storage tanks on the ROBOT provided the additional restrictions of R85 are met.
The intent of this rule is to permit teams to take advantage of the weight savings associated with keeping the compressor off-board. However, using the compressor off-board of the ROBOT does NOT permit non-compliance with any other applicable rules.

I guess if you have an off board compressor, it needs to be connected to where an onboard compressor would be, which still requires you to enable the robot to charge the air.
